Hi all, I'm new to DE razors and am not having much luck. I have watched a good video done by some guy called manic but I am not getting a good shave.
I spent 150$ on a Merkur razor and razors, pure badger brush and some good cream. yikes
I am getting a good lather from what I can tell and a good razor angle I think but its not a smooth shave at all.
Feels like I am not even using shaving cream and scrapes along my face, I have burning face all day.
I dont get a clean shave either, but I have never had a good clean shave with any razor so this is nothing new.
I do three passes and there is still stubble and I do one WTG and two XTG, I havent dared to go ATG yet because of the burning and lack of experience with this type of razor. There hasto be something Im doing wrong or does my skin just hafto get used to this?? Any special technique I'm missing here, lol. excuse me while I go put ice on my face.

Thanks
